  • Moving all the motion tracked points as one once track has completed

    Posted by Matthew Harmer on February 14, 2015 at 7:34 pm

    Hi

    Really hope some one can help me with this, its been bugging me all day!

    The annoying thing is, is that I have done this before but as its been a few months since I have had to do any motion tracking my mind has gone blank and I can not for the life of me remember how to do this.

    I have completed my motion track but need to shift all the tracker point across slightly, when I try and drag the object I have linked the tracking data to it only pulls out that one point depending on what frame im on, then will quickly snap back to its original position once the animation has started again.

    Like I said I have been able to drag the complete track around before but after spending most of the day trying to remember how to do this im hoping some one on here can put me out my misery.

    Thanks in advance

    Make the layer with all the track points a child of a null layer, then move the null layer.

    If you want to actually change all of the position keyframes, you must have them all selected. Easy way to do this is to put your playhead where you want to make adjustments. Select the layer and hit P to open up position. Click the word “position” to select all keyframes, then move the cursor over the x and y coordinates and all keyframes should adjust as a group. This works for most sets of keyframes.
